What happens when you make a blunder in the presence of others? And what if this occurs while you're spotlighted on stage?
Do you also harbor the self-limiting belief, "Avoid making a fool of yourself – what will others think?!" This episode will help you see that we all share this concern.
In this part, the second installment, I continue my conversation with Lauri Lehmusvirta, a colleague from the 'Stadi Talkers' Toastmasters club, where we consistently work on enhancing our speaking and leadership capabilities.
Since 2016, Lauri has been actively engaging in public speaking and has joined Toastmasters clubs in Japan, Hong Kong, and Helsinki.
From him, you'll learn:
Techniques to conquer the fear of appearing foolish in front of others
The potential trajectory of a successful journey within Toastmasters International
The complexities involved in crafting humor
Strategies for preparing an effective keynote speech
Actions to take if you experience a total mental blank
Lauri, a public speaking coach, is currently offering a course for aspiring professional keynote speakers, inclusive of a six-week one-on-one coaching. This package offers extensive analysis and feedback on the speeches crafted by his students. If you're aiming for a specific outcome in your next speech or presentation, you can reach out to Lauri on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurilehmusvirta/
